Discover the Black Cedar Round Dining Table

Built from solid white cedar wood and finished in black, this round dining table reduces the family meal to its essentials: one circle, four sitters, no corners to negotiate. The 90 cm top keeps everyone within arm's reach of the same dish, which is why round formats work so well in flats and open-plan kitchens where a rectangle would eat into the walkway. Cedar is a light, stable timber that takes a dark finish without losing the relief of its grain, so the surface reads matt and deep rather than painted over. Each table is made from natural materials and arrives with tones of its own.

Because the timber is worked individually, no two tops share the same figure, a difference you will notice where morning light falls across the surface. The wood carries FLEGT certification under the Kave Cares Design programme, meaning it is traced to sustainably managed forests with controlled felling rather than an anonymous supply chain. That traceability matters on a piece you intend to keep for decades. The table also belongs to a wider range, so it combines with the rest of the collection should you later add storage or seating in the same black cedar language.

Living With a Black Finish Day to Day

A dark tabletop shows dust and water marks sooner than a pale one, so keep a soft dry cloth to hand and wipe along the grain rather than across it. Treat white cedar wood as you would any solid timber: no standing water, no hot pans set straight down, and no abrasive cream that would dull the black finish. Felt pads under ceramics protect the plate as much as the surface. Because the table measures 90 cm across, a single runner or one low centrepiece is enough dressing; anything taller begins to block the conversation the circle was drawn to hold.

Four chairs suit the diameter comfortably, and armless seats tuck fully underneath so the outline stays clear when nobody is sitting. Pair the black with pale oak or ash seating for the contrast that defines Japandi interiors, or stay tonal with dark rush and rattan. In a compact kitchen the table doubles as a work surface for one between meals, then returns to service in seconds. Set beneath a single low pendant, the round silhouette becomes the centre of the room without dominating the floor around it.
